Sorry for the interior footage mixup😢 I'll let the editor know that only use original footage or images Not customized ones👍 Again, It was my mistake that I didn't check the video clips properly before uploading the full video😔
My mom had a Greenbrier van, 1971 or ‘72. When we went to the Drive-in movies, mom would bring a blanket, and I’d sit on top and watch the movies. I was 7 or 8 at the time depending on the year. Loved that old van.
That Greenbrier was not the same formula as the Corvair Greenbrier. Your's was a conventional front-engined van. The Corvair version had the engine in the back and was air-cooled, just like a VW.
The canadian m100 mercury truck, the Fargo Canadian dodge, the early 50s olds pickup, the dodge warlock / little red express, there's many more rare ones you left out.
mercury and fargo are rare now but were not when new. hes talking about rare trucks when new like warlocks, etc... every truck over 45 years ol is rare now...duh.
An Olds pickup? I have heard rumors that a car-based Oldsmobile "truck" was built for fun, sort of an Olds El Camino if you will, before the Chevy El Camino existed.
I see you did not include the various iterations of El Caminos and Rancheros. Also missing is the Studebaker Coupe Express. Ceratinly the Canadian variants of Dodge; Fargo and Ford/ Mercury ; mercury pickups. Other US market pickup trucks would include the Crosley and last but not least Powells.
C’mon. What truck guy that’s into pickups never heard of a Cameo? Her they were only made a couple of years which makes them kind of rare. But they are well known. And why did you show one with a customized interior with bucket seats and console in the middle of the stock ones like they came that way? Misleading. Then you later showed the same interior in the International.
Contrary to what the narrator said about the Chevrolet Cameo, the interior of the bed was not wider that the "stepside", as Chevrolet actualy used stepside beds on these trucks and civered then with the "fleetside" fiberglass panels. You can see how narrow the bed is in the video.
Watched a 57 cameo go out of the guard shack at the copper mine ln Ray AZ, in early 70s At that time, I thought that was the Ugliest tkk I ever seen, long storie short, the second owner got drunk Wife kick Ray out of the house my dad Traded a 18 ft. Camp trailer for the Trk & a mule , fifty years later still got the trk
I remember most of these, but your shot of the interior of the International was a picture of a Chevy car, and your underhood shot of the Hudson showed a 3rd generation Chevy Stovebolt in there. Also, the Cameo's bed was not a true Fleetside, it was a conventional Stepside with fibreglass sides applied to it. The Fleetside bed debuted for 1958 and had wheelhouses in it. The Cameo's bed did not. There was a Dodge Sweptline truck in 57 and 58 that was the same type of idea. It had station wagon rear quarters applied to their conventional stepside bed. Those and GMC's take on the Cameo, which they called "Suburban", are even more rare than the Cameo.
The Travelette we had in the military for the bomber crews and security work on the flight line. They always seemed to work well and were dependable. But would rust while you watched it. Prior to 73 nobody really cared about mpg.
I remember a friend owned a chevy pickup in the late 70's in Los Angeles that had a 9' bed it was called a longhorn Only one I have ever seen Very handy hauling loads
The Corvair was fine. They went full independent rear in 1966, getting rid if the swing axles(like a VW). The problem was Ralph Nader, he never had a drivers License and couldn't drive. However it didn't stop him from writing a book about how bad the corvair drove. Nader was a liar and a hack but he gained fame and money from his lies and inadequacy.
That is correct, he didn't even know how to drive. How could he possibly know how the Corvair handled? He might have been coached by Ford or Chrysler, as they too came out with compacts in 1960. Or maybe even AMC, who before 1960, didn't have any competitors.
The Corvair never faced "stability issues" so much as it was simply a more capable car with a weight distribution most Americans weren't familiar with. Even the first gen slalomed well, IF you respected it. People were used to cars having far more predictable open differential straight axles. Those who were familiar with limited slip were more accustomed to a car being prone to snap loose... but not so much with rear weight bias. The Corvair was the victim of a momma's boy with some decent penmanship skills and a broken heart.
I know that many of my viewers are complaining about it.. But, you need to understand that. Its really hard to find orignal truck footages. Even on google, after very long scrolling editor gets some good orignal images. Cause these truck extremely old. And main reason is they are very rare now😔
An International pickup with a Chevy dashboard? A Hudson pickup with an overhead-valve engine? A Morris Minor pickup shown at 4:30 while speaking of US and Japanese trucks? Rare pickups slammed an equipped wih donk wheels?
The Dodge trucks had those old fridge door style door handles. You could hold handle, close the door, let go of the door handle and you won't have made a single click or latch noise. Not many doors you could open and close without making a sound.
I didn't see but a single unique truck there and that's - maybe - the Hudson. And at the time, that wasn't particularly rare/unique. Then there were the custom iterations with buckets, consoles. 20" rubber band tires and shifters that never existed as OE
The Dodge dealer in Petaluma was involved in drag racing. They had one. A classmate used to drive for them. He was given a bew car to try every month or so. I remember a particularly fast dodge station wagon. A freinds mother also got a Dodge wagon in 65, he was allow 8:55 ed to order it for her. He tried to get a 426 with a 4 spd in a Polara station wagon. The dealer wouldn't let him. So they got a 440 magnum automatic. Supposedly it received an engine meant for a police chase car from North Carolina. It was really fast. The car was lower than other wagons because it supposedly had a police chassis. (or springs and torsion bars) one time we outran a Boss 302 over Mt Tam. There were 4 guys in it at the time. And it had a burnt valve . It was running on 7 and still fast. The Dodge was eventually totaled in a deep ditch on the 101 in Rohnert Park.
As somebody who owns a 1970 F250 crew cab for 35 years I've seen much older series of Ford trucks in crew cab form on rare occasions. Maybe because once you own a crewcab your reticular activation gets hyper sensitive? These late 50s early 60s Ford's would have predated the IH Travelet. Don't get me wrong...IH is badass...but I don't think that truck informed crewcabism. That came from Forestry and railroad and utility companies most likely. Yes, I knew about that sorry ass Datsun truck cause I painted one back in the stoneage. And the trainwreck that is Chevy...they put their product development folk on warp drive with all the special editions in the 70s. Can't believe there was never a Tampax Edition. Good job on the narration and video editing. I imagine it's near impossible to create an automotive video on this channel that satisfies everybody.
What about the Ford Unibody if got a 1966 and it's the best looking Ford of the era and rare . The only disadvantage was the Unibody construction didn't allow for body flex and it makes for a ruff ride.
61 - 63. Never saw a 66 Unibody. Another problem with that body flex problem happened if you had a load and parked on uneven ground - the doors would be jammed shut. You would have to move. Some of those had a back window like that of the 51 Merc and Baby Lincoln.
I agree except for the fact my '56 GMC Suburban Carrier Pickup was used by at least 4 different businesses. One used it to haul stone for fireplaces, etc. Down the road aways there was a gas station where you could see 2 matching '58 Cameos. And I've seen many that were Not treated well.
Man they left out so many old trucks, ford had a pace truck in 1979, mercury made pickups in the 50s, as well as crew cab trucks from the 50s thru the 70s.
not sure true or not.my friends dad had a76 -78 square body chevy lwb 2500 stepside.with a extra heavier rear end supposidly they made 500 to send to another country.but since they were not 4x4.chevy had to sell them out in america the distinct thing they only had was they were all 4 speed and highway yellow.
seen it drove one,, seen but never driven(owner was grumpy),only in a magazine, seen drove and tried to buy ,never seen a 120 except in builds videos, sat in one sitting in field rusting, seen one in Pennsylvania on a trailer do not know if authentic, D series my TRUCK 225 slant six 3 on the tree my brother slid into a bridge of all the trucks the I want another D again and am still looking
I often fantasize about becoming Bill Gates rich and buying up as many pre 80s cars and trucks just to keep them from being resto-modded. I would be able to afford it if I had that much money.
Showed the same interior shot for Chevy & International. Great job there.
AND...It was a modern custom interior in a Customized Cameo and not representative of the production interior of a Cameo.
I guess this video was made for people who have never seen or heard of a pickup ever before in their entire life.
Sorry for the interior footage mixup😢 I'll let the editor know that only use original footage or images Not customized ones👍
Again, It was my mistake that I didn't check the video clips properly before uploading the full video😔
I saw that too. Must be assuming that youngsters who have only owned Datsuns and Toyotas would be the only watchers, and wouldn't know the difference.
My mom had a Greenbrier van, 1971 or ‘72. When we went to the Drive-in movies, mom would bring a blanket, and I’d sit on top and watch the movies. I was 7 or 8 at the time depending on the year. Loved that old van.
😔 Good old days! It really feels good, hearing many lovely stories from my viewers! Thanks for sharing
That Greenbrier was not the same formula as the Corvair Greenbrier. Your's was a conventional front-engined van. The Corvair version had the engine in the back and was air-cooled, just like a VW.
I forgot one of my favorites; The Studebaker Lark sheetmetal pickups of the early 60s.

Cannot get every pickups in one video! I'll try to make Separate videos on this topic. Which will include the pickups you mentioned. Thank you! ☺️
Canadian Mercury label trucks are just clones of the American Ford Trucks
mercury and fargo are rare now but were not when new. hes talking about rare trucks when new like warlocks, etc... every truck over 45 years ol is rare now...duh.
@weskirkland5850 well thanks for pointing that out duh dude.
An Olds pickup? I have heard rumors that a car-based Oldsmobile "truck" was built for fun, sort of an Olds El Camino if you will, before the Chevy El Camino existed.
I actually have a 63 Corvan, which is the Panel Van version of the Greenbrier. It is so much fun to drive.
I see you did not include the various iterations of El Caminos and Rancheros. Also missing is the Studebaker Coupe Express. Ceratinly the Canadian variants of Dodge; Fargo and Ford/ Mercury ; mercury pickups. Other US market pickup trucks would include the Crosley and last but not least Powells.
Let's not forget the Bantam pickups from American Austin 1931-1934 .
You forgot the Gentleman Jim GMC pickups...

I think IH designed them to rust :(
I remember looking at a Scout when it 1st came out and saw a lot of places it was going to trap dirt and water
A modern rarity in the pickup truck world is the 4x2 5.7L regular cab short bed Toyota Tundra, roughly 2,000 were built from 2007 to 2010.
I remember a friend owned a chevy pickup in the late 70's in Los Angeles that had a 9' bed it was called a longhorn
Only one I have ever seen
Very handy hauling loads
I like that last dodge. Looks cool. Has some style. In all silver. That's diggity dope.
hot diggity
You should check out the similar Dodge Sweptside, probably the coolest truck ever made. One of the rarest too nowadays.

Must not realize that us truck lovers can spot those "modifications" a mile away.

Wow I'm so old.. big boy was only one I didn't know, though it was a Studebaker... show stock pls no restomodes
Its really tough to find stock footages of these very old pickups. So thats why restored footages are used
@@top.intel0 PROPERLY restored is stock.
So where are the trucks that I never heard about?

I have seen all of those pickups.

I know where one of those Hudson pick-ups is, bonner county, Idaho. Complete, been sitting 40 years.
I'm surprised you didn't put the 1975 GMC Gentleman Jim in your round up. Only 2500 made.
Good show! I was kinda waiting for Studebaker though.
I rode in a Greenbriar, it was brand new!
Really? Was it restored or Fresh example?
It was brand new off the show room floor it was probably 60 years ago
You missed the first ute / pickup ever made . Ford Australia was the first to make a production ute / pickup
I had a couple of 59 FC 170 jeep pickups not mentioned. The FC 150 was more unusual
How about the 97 f250HD short bed diesel 4by4, 5speed?
I'll check out that!👍
What about the D50 Dodge you don't see many of them anymore
What about the Ford Unibody if got a 1966 and it's the best looking Ford of the era and rare . The only disadvantage was the Unibody construction didn't allow for body flex and it makes for a ruff ride.
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll check it out

Why wasn't the International Travelette built in the Neuss factory? Would have been a great Alternative to the VW Pickup !
Where were the "trucks you've never heard of?" I even owned a couple of these.
What is so great or stylish about a 1973 chevy?🤔
U forgot the Powell truck ?
Nope. I heard of them already. VERY dramatic title to your video though!
What about Torco?
My brother had a Cameo with original turquoise/white paint, back the '70's. Genius sold it.
What about a Mercury pickup?
Y'all forgot the Rolls Royce pickup.
2:06 - how could you mention the "Beau James" without mentioning its sister (brother?) model, the "Gentleman Jim" GMC?
The Chevy Cameo and the GMC clone were Doll Up pick-ups not Work Horses

I had a d100 62 my first truck I could drive myself
You didn't show any American made Crosley pickups. They were made from 1946-1952 in Marian Indiana. Must be you never heard of them either.....
So where’s the truck I’ve never heard of before??
Man they left out so many old trucks, ford had a pace truck in 1979, mercury made pickups in the 50s, as well as crew cab trucks from the 50s thru the 70s.
So little knowledge of the subject matter.
1937 Pontiac pickup
Thanks for the suggestion. I'll try to include it in next videos
Pontiac? I know of the 59 Pontiac "El Camino", but not a 37 Pontiac truck!
not sure true or not.my friends dad had a76 -78 square body chevy lwb 2500 stepside.with a extra heavier rear end supposidly they made 500 to send to another country.but since they were not 4x4.chevy had to sell them out in america the distinct thing they only had was they were all 4 speed and highway yellow.
Happy to see Ford neve made the grade.
what about the dodge adventure fleetside in the 50s
The 57 - 58 Dodge Swept Side?
Sorry, but minor models of a standard pickup don't make them "8 ultra rare Pickup Trucks! You never heard of".
As a kid my neighbor had a rampside pickup Corvair truck.

What about the coolest fastest pick up ever. The HOLDEN MALOO?
Lost me at chevy.
What about a Corvair Rampside with a 160 HP Yenko engine?
I often fantasize about becoming Bill Gates rich and buying up as many pre 80s cars and trucks just to keep them from being resto-modded. I would be able to afford it if I had that much money.
The HOLDEN MALOO? A Chevy SS pickup.
